5 Situation and amenities Upcott Farm occupies a truly rural location with the house and buildings located at the end of a long private drive in a protected and sheltered position with the farm enjoying outstanding views to the south across to the Taunton Vale.

17 The Land The land, which extends to about acres, lies within a ring fence providing privacy and amenity to the homestead. The land enjoys access off the council maintained road that runs along the eastern boundary and from the farm drive, thereafter by passing from field to field. The majority of the land, which is gently undulating, is ideal for grass production with an attractive pond and small area of amenity woodland running through the core.
